Following an already sub-par season, SKT T1 did not qualify for the 2018 World Championship. During the off-season, SKT started the process of rebuilding the team from the ground up while keeping a strong foundation.

With the addition of strong players such as Khan and Teddy, the sky is the limit for the veteran organization.

“Everyone is very talkative, and in turn, our team atmosphere saw some change. It’s definitely loud. Everyone has a loud personality. We became close to each other, really quickly.”

Fans are excited after seeing the new iteration of SKT T1’s first official match at KesPa Cup. In a 2-0 series over APK Prince, the team also put their unique play styles on display. During the first game, a methodical approach was taken that displayed Korean League of Legends at its finest. Following this, the pace rapidly increased as the game finished with a total of 41 deaths.

Although China is the current World Champion, there is no question that SKT T1 is on a journey to take back what was once theirs.
